Minolta Dimage EX

The Dimâge EX line was originally intended to be "obsolescence-proof," in that it was designed with internal software that would be upgradable through downloads or patches based on FlashPoint Technology's Digita camera operating system, and that its lens interface would support future lens configurations.

However, this concept was abandoned as Minolta continued on redesigning the Dimage line, eventually merging more SLR-style features into it.

The Dimâge EX features a maximum resolution of 1344×1008 pixels and stores files in JPEG format.

The unit also has a separate dedicated video-out port which supports both PAL and NTSC video standards.
